TRAVELOGUE #3 - GWANGJU / JEONJU

G W A N G J U

My first solo bus ride out to Gwangju, which was about 2.5 hours away! Woke up kinda late that day but thank God I managed to find the bus terminal (a really nondescript building) and get on board the very next bus.

Sole scompany on the bus: sugarless wheat tea

The cutest pooch I spotted while out shopping

Insanely spicy thai food for a late lunch. what was most memorable about this lunch, though, was the FaceTime I had with my dear ole colleagues <3

Korean cafes are gorgeous. Nuff said.

Rollin', rollin' hills for much of the bus ride to and from yeosu

Stopped by the supermarket to get some groceries and had to make my own cardboard carton to lug it all back.
eco-friendly much!

More of a train person than a bus person. Found it cute that they assigned seats to us on the train too.

Overdid the walkathon and scooted into this lovely cafe for this UHMAYZING RED BEAN DESSERT. The best way to beat the summer heat!

Hiked up a few flights of stairs for this

My colourful Bibimbap lunch :)

My day-offs from work were spent in these spots. It was here that I finally learnt how to enjoy travelling alone. I was pretty apprehensive at first, especially because I am quite a blurblock when it comes to navigating. But I came to enjoy my leisure time alone, and didn't feel self-conscious much. Glad I managed to get over my phobia of aloneness.
